Antec p193 help!

Ok im looking at building a new system shortly, ill be using/:

Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
2500k I5 processor, which is will be over clocking
So i was looking at a cooler, and i really like the Corsair h100, but it features 120mm fans, my case has two top 140mm fans, and im wondering if anyone else has managed to make the Corsair h100 fit inside a Antec p193, and sort of modding can i do to make it possible.

Here is a top view of the case

as you can see there is a few "cm" between each fan, but on the corsairh100 the fans are right next to eachother as shown below:

So even if i somehow mod the case to use 120mm fans for the cooler, will it work right, So basically im sorta hoping for someone here to say "i have this case and the cooler fits perfect" Any help much appreciated thanks guys!

Why don't you get a nice rad grill and cut out what's necassary from the 193 to fit the H100. It won't be difficult to install it nicely.

Even better, though a little more expensive would be custom water, as opposed to butchering a nice case to fit a not so nice H100, why not post in watercooling section for some ideas, along the lines of fitting a 280 in the roof

That is actually good advice from 95thrifles.

This is my first time going with watercooling and id much rather have a closed loop system that's refilled and ready to install, so can you please expand on your post hatman im.not really sure what you mean lol thanks for the quick reply too guys! :-)

Well yhou can buy nice 120, 240, 360 and 480 cut out trim panel filter for custom radiator mounting. Competitor info is not allowed here. But to give you a clue, thing of the mains supply and a footballer whose name is Giggs. Put that together and you get the brand name of some nice grills. You cut out the hole in the top of your caese to actually mount the rad, then you use the fancy trim to cover the rad and the edges of the case cut out.

Or look at issue 102 of Custom PC, page 122, there are instructions of how you can fit a rad grill.

I hope this helps
